The aim of this project was to set up a building that completely fulfilled the educational requirements for a cost-level of semi-permanent (at least 20 years) school buildings. Because of factors that made forecasting the exact future function of this school difficult, and also because building and activities were expected to change continuously, it was decided to construct an experimental building. The building was to (1) have higher educational and functional qualities than the traditional...

A set of simple queuing theory models which can model the average response of a network of computers to a given traffic load has been implemented using a spreadsheet. The impact of variations in traffic patterns and intensities, channel capacities, and message protocols can be assessed using them because of the lack of fine detail in the network traffic rates, traffic patterns, and the hardware used to implement the networks. A sample use of the models applied to a realistic problem is included...

Language extensions of FORTRAN are being developed which permit the user to map data structures to the individual processors of distributed memory machines. These languages allow a programming style in which global data references are used. Current efforts are focussed on designing a common basis for such languages, the result of which is known as High Performance Fortran (HPF). One of the central debates in the HPF effort revolves around the concept of templates, introduced as an abstract...

Lead can affect children's brains and developing nervous systems, causing reduced IQ, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. Lead is also harmful to adults. Lead in dust is the most common way people are exposed to lead. People can also get lead in their bodies from lead in soil or paint chips. Lead dust is often invisible. Lead-based paint was used in more than 38 million homes until it was banned for residential use in 1978. Projects that disturb lead-based paint can create dust and...

Reliability based design and acceptance criteria are currently being developed by the U.S. Navy using Navy load and strength prediction methodologies. However, this work considers only traditional structural materials and systems and a limited range of structural-failure modes.

In recent years new methods based on signal processing technical have been developed to measure the normal acoustic impedance of materials. These methods proved to be considerably faster easier to implement than the SRW method they replace. Mathematical, hardware and software aspects of these techniques are discussed and results obtained over a frequency range of 200-4000 Hz for several architectural materials are presented.

In all the theaters of operations on our far-flung battle lines, enemy forces are being driven back and new bases are being established for our front-line forces. Many problems arise in developing these bases. Some of the problems are more or less common to all advance bases, while others are peculiar to particular locations and conditions. Many different methods, some better than others, are used to solve common problems. The detailed knowledge of how particular problems have been solved in...

This paper is about the experience of teaching Assembly for Disassembly to fourth year architect students within the module of sustainable design. When designing a sustainable building one should take into consideration the fact that the building is going to be demolished in some years; thus the materials should be assembled in such a way so that the building is not just demolished, but disassembled in a practical way, so that its items and materials can be reused or at least be recycled in...

The structural design of deeply buried protective structures to resist the effects of nuclear blast loading is somewhat simplified if the structure can be designed to resist a defined, constant or quasi- constant stress level when shock-loaded. By backpacking a buried structure with certain types of materials, a constant stress level can be obtained when a shock wave is transmitted through the backpacking to the structure. An analysis of the desired behavior of the material accompanied by...

The backfill effects tests were conducted in various backfill materials and provided data on the response of buried structures to localized point-source loadings. Four tests were conducted in this test series. To represent realistic backfill materials, two low seismic velocity materials, a high-shear-strength flume sand and a low-shear-strength reconstituted clay were used. The high seismic velocity material was obtained by using an in situ clay layer. The test articles were reinforced concrete...

Recycling of paving materials is gaining acceptance as a means of savings in pavement reconstruction or rehabilitation. The need to conserve natural resources and increasing costs of select virgin materials have made recycling pavements economically attractive. Pavements that currently have low serviceability indices due to surface irregularities such as cracks, bumps, spalling, potholes, etc., may be broken up to meet specified granular base course gradation requirements and reused as a base...

Airports for light aircraft must often be built in areas where base course material is inadequate or economically unavailable. Sand grids may provide an economical solution in these cases. Previous work with sand grids has identified optimum grid-cell geometry based on ultimate bearing capacity. Past observations also suggest the nature of sand-grid behavior for small stresses and strains. From these a model was formulated for analyzing the performance of sand grids in pavement systems and...

In order to provide structures with new and better characteristics, researchers often look to biological systems for inspiration. One trait that many biological system have that conventional structures do not is a circulatory system, which can be used for many purposes, one of which is the transport of structural material. This project explored the possibility of enabling structures with reconfigurable transport networks by creating materials that can change from solid (load bearing state) to...
